I just got Windows XP last weekend. But ever since I started using it I
can't open my attachments in my e-mail. I'm using Outlook Express Version 6.

Can someone tell me what to do??

Pmb:
Try this: In OE click Tools > Options >Security. Uncheck "Do not allow
attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus". Click
Apply > OK.

ps: I assume you are running an updated antivirus program. Wouldn't want any
nasty surprises in those attachments.

All file extensions. There is a little picture of a paperclip you're
supposed to click on - I click on in and the name of the file is faded like
I'm not supposed to click it. And it happens for all file extensions

What is the file extension of the file you cannot open?
